A month ago or so, flying solo, having just got to my seat upstairs in CW/64K on a 747, a family of two adults and an infant take up 64A/B.

Ms 64J arrives, gets settled, peers across the aisle, then leans across to me and says very loudly "Well, you don't see that up here very often!"

The first and last thing I said to her on that trip was that I frequently fly with my then-six-month old "up here". The moment when I could permanently raise the divider couldn't come soon enough.
